This  selective  list  of  plays  and  books  about  the  theatre  is  in- 
tended to  include  the  more  important  volumes  issued  during  the 
year  IQI2  ;  as  well  as  some  omissions  from  the  more  complete  list 
of  books  published  up  to  the  first  of  January,  191 2  ;  which  list, 
containing  54.6  titles,  may  still  be  obtained  from  the  Secretary  for 
Twenty-five   Cents. 

As  before,  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  collate  a  full  list  of 
bibliography,  Shakespeariana,  or  of  reprints  of  old  and  classic 
drama,  these  being  considered  as  desirable  subjects  for  separate 
lists,  or  as  being  already  covered  by  available  indexes. 

The  demand  for  material  on  Pageantry  and  School  Festival 
plays  of  one  form  or  another,  has  been  recognized  by  grouping 
the  more  important  titles  recently  issued  in  this  department  under 
a  separate  head. 

Acknowledgment  should  be  made  to  Mr.  Frederick  W .  Faxon 
for  permission  to  collate  this  list  with  his  "  Dramatic  Index  for 
Zpl2,'y  an  exhaustive  publication  issued  by  The  Boston  Book  Co. 

The  compiler  will  welcome  any  suggestions  for  bettering  the 
present  system  of  indicating  the  character  of  titles  included,  or 
criticisms  as  to  the  method  of  selecting  the  various  plays,  —  all 
being  problems  not  easy  of  solution. 


The  next  issue  of  this  Selective  List,  which  will  be  published 
as  early  in  191 4  as  is  possible,  will  be  a  reprint  of  the  first 
complete  list  of  ipu,  including  with  it  a  revision  of  this  pamphlet 
and  the  addition  of  the  more  important  volumes  issued  in  iplj.

PLAYS  BY  AUGUST  STRINDBERG 

Translated  from  the  Swedish,  ivitb  introductions,  by  Edwin   Bjorkman 

THIRD  SERIES  $1.50  »«.      By  mail  #1.65 

A  new  volume  of  the  authorized  edition  of  Strindberg's  Plays,  con- 
taining ' '  Advent, "  "  Simoon, "  '  '  Swan  White, ' '  "  Debit  and  Credit, ' ' 
"The  Spook  Sonata,"  and  "The  Black  Glove."  Most  of  these 
plays  have  never  before  been  translated  into  English. 

SECOND  SERIES  $1.50  net 

The  plays  of  this  volume —  "  Creditors,"  "  Pariah,"  "  Miss  Julia," 
"The  Stronger,"  "There  Are  Crimes  and  Crimes" — were  origi- 
nally published  in  three  separate  volumes.  But  the  great  interest  of  the 
public  in  them  and  in  Strindberg  called  for  their  collection  together 
into  a  single  volume,  — a  more  convenient  and  lasting  form.

"The    Dream    Play";     "The    Link";     "The    Dance  of 

Death  "  —  Parts  I.  and  II. 
"  No  one  can  read  a  play  of  Strindberg's  without  receiving  an  intel- 
lectual jolt.  There  comes  the  startling  conviction  that  here  is  the 
transcript  of  a  great  mind.  One  may  or  may  not  agree  that  what  one 
reads  is  great  drama  or  great  literature  ;  but  there  is  no  doubt  that  the 
big,  restless,  cutting,  probing  spirit  of  the  man  who  wrote  it  is  a  stu- 
pendous human  spectacle."  —  The  Dial. 

PLAYS  BY  GALSWORTHY  JMs  •* 

The  prolonged  demand  for  John  Galsworthy's  plays  has  induced  the 
collection  in  one  volume  of  "Justice,"  "The  Little  Dream,"  and 
"  The  Eldest  Son"  — a  cheaper  and  more  convenient  form. 

PLAYS  BY  BJORNSTJERNE  BJORNSON

Power  "

$l.$o  net;  by  mail  $1.65 
These  plays  by  the  famous  Norwegian  suit  the  temper  of  the  time, 
"  The  Gauntlet,"  particularly.  It  is  a  sharp  challenge  of  the  double 
moral  standard  of  the  sexes  ;  will  startle  a  reader  into  vivid  realization 
like  the  blow  of  a  glove  upon  his  cheek.  But  all  three,  though  re- 
strained and  in  form  almost  classic,  radiate  the  spirit  of  the  day.

tragedies  of  existence  and  to  whom  men  and  women,  sinning,  striving, 
repenting,  and  above  all,  suffering,  seem  a  vital  part  of  life,  will  find 
that  in  these  four  plays  Tchekoff  has  given  the  world  literature,  psychol- 
ogy, and  genuine  drama."  —  Boston  Herald.

Edited  by  Horace  Howard  Furness,   PhD.,   LL.D.,   Litt.D. 

Being    the    Eighteenth    Volume    of    A    NEW    VARIORUM 

EDITION     OF     THE     WORKS     OF     WILLIAM 

SHAKESPEARE. 

Royal  octavo.      Cloth,  gilt  top,  uncut  edges,  $4.00  net.      Half 

morocco,  gilt  top,  $5.00  net.  Carriage  extra. 
This  volume  was  the  last  work  from  the  pen  of  the  late  Dr.  Furness, 
who  was  known  the  world  over  as  the  greatest  Shakespearean  scholar 
of  our  time.  In  the  Variorum  Edition  he  left  a  monumental  work 
unrivalled  in  its  particular  field.  The  continuance  of  it  is  fortunately 
assured  under  the  editorship  of  Horace  Howard  Furness,  Jr.,  whose 
many  years'  association  with  his  father  in  the  work  has  well  equipped 
him  for  the  task  of  editing  the  remaining  plays. 

The  value  of  this  edition  to  lovers  and  students  of  Shakespeare,  to 
the  teacher  and  the  theatrical  profession,  is  plainly  evident,  but  it  is 
also  a  work  which  should  grace  the  library  of  every  editor,  every  author, 
and  every  cultured  man  or  woman  on  account  of  its  incalculable  value 
as  a  work  of  reference  and  a  storehouse  of  stories,  plays,  references 
and  criticisms  which  any  one  who  desires  a  thorough  knowledge  of 
English  literature  cannot  be  without. 

The  Drama  To-day 

By    Charlton    Andrews.      Cloth   back,    imported   paper  sides, 
with  paper  label.     Uncut  edges.      Flat  1 2mo.  $1.50  net.      Post- 
paid, $1.65. 
This  book  supplies  the  need  of  a  brief  compendium  of  the  Drama 
To-Day  as  it  is  practised  not  only  in  England  and  America,  but  also 
upon  the  Continent.      In  gives  in  small  compass  accurate  general  in- 
formation as  to  the  leaders  of  the  modern  stage  and  their  work.      The 
author  also  presents  some  opinions  as  to  the  prospects  and  tendencies 
of  dramatic  art.      It  is  an  entertaining  and  valuable  survey.

Other  Stories 

Second  Series.  By  W.  J.  Lawrence.  Illustrated.  8vo. 
Half  cloth,  with  board  sides,  $3.50  net. 
This  volume  is  uniform  with  the  first  series  published  in  191 2,  and 
in  it  the  author  continues  his  studies  of  the  evolution  of  the  English 
theatre.  He  endeavors  to  throw  additional  light  on  the  obscurity  of 
the  Elizabethan  stage  and  to  emphasize  the  remarkable  vitality  of  its 
conventions  by  demonstrating  how  many  of  them  contrive  to  wind 
their  tendrils  around  the  trunk  of  early  picture-stage  dramaturgy.  The 
edition  is  limited  to  760  copies  printed  from  type.
